After the great battle began.
Tapu Koko was wreathed in lightning, and in its Agility state, even Rotom Pokédex’s powerful recording function could barely capture its figure.
Play Rough!
In an instant, Altaria reacted. Wings formed from Fairy energy folded together and collided head-on with its opponent’s body. Both sides were blasted backward by the immense force!
Even though it was only a preliminary exchange, the shockwaves swept across every corner of the domain. If not for the three guardian deities protecting Terrance, he might have been completely obliterated at the very first moment.
“Ko-ko!”
Sensing Altaria’s progress, Tapu Koko nodded and began gathering natural energy. Immediately, the electrical energy from the world surged toward Tapu Koko and merged into its body!
Drawing on the electrical energy of nature to strengthen itself; Tapu Koko was clearly far better in it than Altaria.
Seeing Tapu Koko’s transformation, Terrance’s expression turned solemn. He looked at the newly obtained Z Ring and immediately activated it with his psychic power. As he lightly brushed the Z Crystal, Altaria, connected to him in heart and mind, entered a mysterious state.
This was not an ordinary Fairy-type Z Crystal, but a Z Crystal specially prepared by the four island guardian deities exclusively for Altaria!
After consuming a tremendous amount of Terrance’s stamina and psychic power, the one-of-a-kind Z Move began to activate!
Under the Z Move’s effect, Altaria frantically absorbed Fairy energy and life energy from the outside world. Its various abilities skyrocketed, directly surpassing the 20% benchmark. Its strength increased by 30%… 40%… 50%… Only when its overall power had risen by 50% did Altaria finally stop. At that moment, it radiated astonishing might. Even Terrance and Rotom Pokédex, who were with Altaria day and night, were utterly shocked.
“So the effect of the exclusive Z Move is to enhance the intensity of Altaria’s ‘borrowing natural energy to strengthen itself’? What a terrifying Z Move…” Terrance said, clutching his chest.
It wasn’t just Altaria. Tapu Koko had also undergone a tremendous transformation. Drawing upon natural energy, it seemed to become the lord of lightning, bathed in countless flashes of thunder. Thunderclouds gathered above it, and beneath the earth thunder rumbled. Its aura was terrifying. After both sides had borrowed natural energy, Altaria and Tapu Koko clashed once more!
It was Terrance’s first time witnessing a battle of this level, and he was extraordinarily excited. Yet faintly, he also noticed changes in himself. After using the Z Move, the feeling of his condition declining became increasingly obvious.
In that instant, Terrance almost felt as if his body were about to be drained dry.
“Even though I practice martial arts and the meditation method every day, using a Z Move still puts this much strain on me…” Terrance shook his head helplessly. He suddenly felt grateful for Team Nightmare’s semi-finished Mega Ring. If that Mega Ring hadn’t forced him to train his psychic power and physical body, he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a Z Move of this level now.
Tapu Koko’s power of lightning was incredibly formidable. In comparison, the electrical power of Elite Four Leo’s strongest ace Electivire would be like an infant before Tapu Koko’s current state.
This power of lightning was nothing like what an ordinary Pokémon could wield. As thunder roared, even the earth trembled. Of course, Altaria was no pushover either. After a 50% enhancement from natural energy, its strength, speed, and the intensity of its Fairy energy had all risen to a terrifying level. At this moment, Altaria’s Fairy energy solidified directly into a sharp blade attached to its claws, tearing toward the lightning released by Tapu Koko!
As the intense lightning collided with the Fairy blade, Tapu Koko struck from the side with Quick Attack, unleashing a barrage of Electro Balls that filled the sky. Judging by the sheer number, there were dozens of them, and each Electro Ball contained an incomparably terrifying power of lightning. Combined, this power was enough to level a town in an instant! Facing this ferocious assault, Altaria’s Fairy power transformed into a flash as Dazzling Gleam erupted, sweeping through the sky to clash with the swarm of Electro Balls.
Such an astonishing clash of energy. Just the aftermath alone would be enough to heavily injure the main Pokemon of an ordinary Elite Four. With a battle of this magnitude unfolding in such a small area, Terrance’s heart pounded violently as he observed from close range.
Moreover, Tapu Koko’s speed was simply too fast, as if it had truly reached the speed of light. Terrance had no time to command Altaria; against Tapu Koko’s offensive, Altaria could only rely on its own judgment.
During the exchange, boundless blazing flames erupted across Altaria’s body. The Flame of Life manifested from its Fairy Aura, sweeping over every part of its body. After life energy merged into the Fairy Aura, Altaria’s Flame of Life underwent a qualitative transformation. Its color began to resemble Fairy energy. Compared to Flame of Life, it was now more appropriate to call it Fairy Flame.
At this point, it had become Terrance’s Altaria’s exclusive signature move, extremely difficult to replicate.
Under the scorching wave unleashed by the Fairy power-infused Flame of Life, Altaria restored its injuries in an instant while erupting with an immense aura. Without the protection of the four terrains maintained by the four island guardian deities, that searing wave might have burned this entire forest to ashes…
Faced with this terrifying strike, Tapu Koko immediately wrapped itself in even more power of lightning and charged forward with Wild Charge. Its speed was so horrifying that it pierced a massive hole straight through the wave of Fairy Flame. Empowered by such terrifying speed, Wild Charge slammed directly into Altaria, sending it flying and crashing against the protective barrier formed by the fusion of the four terrains.
However, for Altaria, who possessed a healing method, this attack was still not enough to rob it of its fighting capability. This time, countless cottony feathers scattered from Altaria’s body, seemingly attempting to counter Tapu Koko’s speed through this method. Yet neither Terrance nor Altaria had expected that this top-tier Essence of Softness would prove so fragile before the opponent’s lightning blade.
The soft, resilient, elastic cotton was instantly sliced apart by the arcs of electricity unleashed by Tapu Koko, scattering into fragments.
“Still getting stronger?” Terrance’s mouth twitched as he sensed Tapu Koko’s condition. Tapu Koko was constantly strengthening itself. Though it had initially maintained a level of power not far from Altaria’s, as time passed, the pressure it exerted on Altaria grew increasingly overwhelming.
It seemed that Tapu Koko was using this method to squeeze out Altaria’s potential, allowing it to draw upon natural energy more quickly and efficiently!!
During this process, Altaria had indeed made tremendous leaps in progress, because only by constantly drawing on natural energy and merging it into its moves could it keep up with Tapu Koko’s special training pace. Furthermore, as Tapu Koko’s power of lightning invaded Altaria’s body, Altaria’s physical strength seemed to be changing as well, getting tempered!
Tapu Koko was using lightning to temper Altaria’s body, helping it increase its physical resilience so that it could withstand even greater levels of enhancement!
This lightning was no ordinary lightning, but a special power of lightning infused with life energy. Its effects were extraordinary.
